The Retrospective

It’s not often that our American ears are graced with the sound of Norwegian artists (I won’t include death-metal on that list). But, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that one of Scandinavia’s biggest artists and female DJs is releasing an album in the United States on Island Records. ANNIE first came to my […]

One of our favorite bloggers, DJ’s and social observers Trevor, aka DJ SKEET SKEET, is having one busy summer. Between solo gigs and being 1/3rd of the buzzed about band Shwayze, yes the pun was sooo intended, has recently unveiled some new shwag for your summer ensemble. The limited edition shirts are currently availble via […]

I thought that the concept for this video was really superb; the motion graphics and type are absolutely amazing. The song is from a German band, The Whitest Boy Alive, and the name of the track is “Golden Cage”.

Earlier this month, we had the pleasure of conducting an interview with Cleveland native turned Brooklyn resident K.i.D CuDi. If you don’t know who CuDi is, get out from whatever hole your living in and go to your local club/disco/hipster hangout and see if you don’t hear his summer jam “Day n Nite”. A genuinely nice, intelligent, and […]

The roommates and I have been listing to this record on repeat since we got an early release copy earlier this month. Seeing Sounds just took me by surprise; maybe it’s because I feel like I’m experiencing a different band altogether on this record. From crooning jazz hits like “Sooner or Later” or club bangers like “Everyone […]

I’ve decided that I’m going to post weekly installments of the new jams I’m currently* enjoying. *Note, some of these may be old but still worth a listen…

Shout out to George for putting this artist in my sights.

Here’s what I’ve been bumping through my speakers this week:
Canadian indie rock band Tokyo Police Club “Tessellate” on their new single.

Los Campesinos are describing their year in lists.

Atlanta up and coming artist Donnis wants to know if you really want to party.

Our favorite producer Mano helps rapper Vyle channel some of Michael Jackson’s Thriller.

Justice get’s […]

Nylon that oh-so-hip magazine for the discerning, fashion-forward teen girls, and sometimes guys, decided to tour this summer with a rag-tag team of artists. The stop in Boston featured The Switches, The Virgins, Be Your Own Pet and headliner She Wants Revenge.

“Wow, you should take a rest, sunshine.”
“No way, not ’til Public’s dead.”
I’m sitting in the back seat of Sophia, aka Piece’s car, with Nick Marsh, better known as Public- the mirror-masked artist that is stealing the hearts of dance-happy youngsters at “Blow Up” here in San Francisco. He has also become the center of attention […]
